The National Salvation Committee demands that President Leonid Kuchma dismiss Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych within 24 hours. This was stated by National Salvation Committee member Yulia Tymoshenko before supporters of the leader of the "Our Ukraine" bloc, Viktor Yushchenko, on Independence Square in Kyiv, according to "Ukrainian News."\n\n"The National Salvation Committee has adopted an ultimatum address to Kuchma," she said. The committee demands that Kuchma dismiss Yanukovych for facilitating election falsification and participation in separatist actions.\n\nThe committee also demands that Kuchma dismiss the heads of the state administrations of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv regions, immediately submit to the Verkhovna Rada the candidacies of new members of the Central Election Commission, and instruct the Prosecutor General's Office and the Security Service of Ukraine to initiate criminal cases against officials who call for the split of Ukraine.\n\nTymoshenko called for blocking Kuchma's movement across the territory of Ukraine if these conditions are not fulfilled. "We know where he is, where he is moving, and we can make it so that he won't take a single step until he signs the decrees," Tymoshenko stated.\n\nShe also said that if Kuchma fails to fulfill these demands, criminal cases will be initiated against him. "There are people in the law enforcement structures who are ready to initiate criminal cases against Kuchma," she added.
